Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 1096: Chapter 19: Ten Halls Yama Dao Fruit

At this moment, he felt a wave of fear.

The emotion originated from Jue.

Jue’s heart was very uneasy, he felt as if he was about to lose something extremely important.

Once lost, it would be a most significant loss.

His body’s instincts resisted, wanting to take action directly.

Fortunately, he remembered he was beside a True Saint and resisted with his willpower.

Upon noticing, Wang Sheng comforted him: “What is yours, will be yours, no need to worry.”

His voice seemed to have a magical power, calming Jue’s heart.

Additionally, he unleashed a force to confine Jue.

Only then did he begin to extract the Dao Fruit.

It proved his decision to confine Jue was correct.

Losing the Dao Fruit was akin to losing life.

Jue felt his lifespan drastically decrease and his cultivation decline significantly.

The Starry Sky rewarded rank elevated him.

At this moment, the rank was transformed into a Dao Fruit taken by Wang Sheng, though it didn’t drop him from a top-tier Saint Emperor, he was exceedingly weak.

The feeling of having life taken away, any being would struggle.

If not for the confinement, Jue might have instinctively started to attack.

Wang Sheng gazed at the Dao Fruit, knowing his experiment succeeded.

“Indeed, within hell, there exists a Dao Fruit, and it can be manifested… the one in my hand now is a Judge’s Dao Fruit, so does the Yama Dao Fruit, or even the Five Ghost Emperors Dao Fruit exist?”

This was his true purpose.

Although the Underworld personnel hadn’t fully gathered.

But due to the presence of Ksitigarbha.

Positions like the Ten Halls Yama and Five Ghost Emperors also existed.

Even the position of the highest in the Underworld, Emperor Fengdu, was the same.

If there is a Dao Fruit, how astonishing would it be?

After thinking, Wang Sheng returned the Judge’s Dao Fruit to Jue and released the confinement.

With the Dao Fruit restored, Jue instantly recovered, but his eyes were full of fear.

That feeling, he absolutely never wanted to experience a second time.

“True Saint, what was that just now…”

Wang Sheng did not mention the existence of the Dao Fruit, instead explained: “Although I have never said it, you should have noticed, hell has already been recognized by the Starry Sky Rules, your lifespan increases, cultivation increases, these are the rewards of the Starry Sky Rules, since they are rewards, they may be revoked, the increased cultivation may not be too affected, but lifespan will return to the original state, so fulfill your duties well, if you don’t…”

He didn’t speak directly, but the meaning was clear.

Jue instantly understood and immediately stated: “True Saint, since taking the position of Judge, I have been diligent and never dared to slack off…”

“I know, hehe, no need to be so nervous, actually as long as you don’t make serious mistakes, some small errors are not a problem, digest it well, although you went through this, you will find later that it benefits you greatly.”

The transformation of rank into a Dao Fruit was akin to saving a lot of time, certainly beneficial for future development.

Not only Jue, but other Star Beasts will also experience something similar later on.

Of course, now he is more interested in knowing whether there exists a Dao Fruit above the Judge.

For positions held by Star Beasts, it has been confirmed, there’s a Dao Fruit.

What about positions not held by any Star Beasts?

After sending Jue away, Wang Sheng directly went to the Yama Hall.

The Hall of King Yanluo.

King Yanluo is arguably the most well-known of the Ten Halls Yama in myth and legend, even to some extent, synonymous with the Underworld.

He originally set up the Ten Halls Yama largely because of Yanluo Hall.

“There is no one in the position of King Yanluo, so the previous method cannot be used, but as long as the Yama Dao Fruit exists, there will be a way to find it… at least, be able to sense its presence.”

Thus he used a similar method as before, utilizing his control over hell to sense the presence of the Yama rank.

The terrifying pressure spread throughout hell.

Both the souls and ghost messengers felt a terrifying pressure.

“What’s happening, where is this power coming from?”

“Is hell about to be destroyed?”

The not yet mature hell seemed somewhat shaky in the eyes of the souls.

Of course, this is surely an illusion.

Hell has been recognized by the Starry Sky, it won’t be easily destroyed.

It was just because Wang Sheng was using opposing forces that it appeared destructive, but in reality, far from truly damaging hell.

As the forces clashed.

Wang Sheng also had his rewards.

“Sensed it, the rank not on anyone’s body, just as I suspected, positions within the Underworld, even if specific personnel hasn’t been assigned, the rank already exists.”

After conducting a similar test as before, he sensed the presence of the Yama rank.

Proving whether or not a person holds the position, it doesn’t affect the appearance of the rank.

“This is truly waiting for a worthy person; even if one doesn’t occupy the position initially, as long as they become Yama later, they can enjoy the benefits, not missing out.”

After sensing the Yama rank, he used it to sense the rank of other positions.

“King Zhuanlun, Chu Jiang King… all Dao Fruits of the Ten Halls Yama are present, what about higher positions?”

Before the Ten Halls Yama, is the Five Ghost Emperors.

The Five Ghost Emperors can be considered as high-level forces in the Underworld, guarding the five directions, of immense strategic importance.

Then the even higher Tai Mountain Mansion Lord, Ksitigarbha.

“If the rank of the Five Ghost Emperors exists, how amazing would it be?”

Wang Sheng looked towards the Five Ghost Emperors Mansion.

But—

“Hmm… no presence of a rank?”

He was somewhat surprised.

All ranks of the Ten Halls Yama were sensed, but not those of the Five Ghost Emperors.

Instantly, he thought of the Star Beast Ancestor.

The Star Beast Ancestor appointed by him to the position of Ksitigarbha, one of the highest in the Underworld, received great benefits, therefore, while other Star Beasts had awakened and worked for a long time, the Star Beast Ancestor was still in slumber, undergoing enhancement.

“Indeed not there either!”

And just like the rank of the Five Ghost Emperors, the rank of Ksitigarbha also did not exist.

Wang Sheng quickly thought of a reason.

“It’s because hell is still not mature, even the most basic higher position ranks cannot be produced…”

This is the most plausible reason.

Though the Underworld’s system is essentially complete.

The Reincarnation Dao is still immature, far from fully mature.

The inability to produce ranks like the Five Ghost Emperors, even regarded as top-level powers in the mythological system, can be explained.

“So, it makes sense that Xing Hou hasn’t directly broken through to the Thirteen Realms either.”

For the completion of hell, apart from him, the rewards from the Starry Sky fundamentally distribute according to the hierarchy of positions.

As Ksitigarbha under Emperor Fengdu, and equating the level of Tai Mountain Mansion Lord, the reward naturally wouldn’t be low.

Ultimately, the final reward was only an opportunity for Xing Hou to enter the Thirteen Realms.

Looking at it now, this should be due to the absence of ranks, otherwise, reaching that state would have been assured.

“But it doesn’t affect, even so, the safety of hell deserves some attention, once hell is destroyed, the consequences for the ranks will be severe.”

Such ranks can also be weakened if they are hurt.

Also, ranks are a reflection of one aspect of the Starry Sky, if damaged, it would also affect the Reincarnation Dao.

This can be considered the responsibility given by the Starry Sky to the bearer of the rank.

After further reinforcing hell, he left the Underworld.

He had just returned when he received a warning from Huangtian.

Major events are happening in the Old Land Starry Sky.

The Devouring Sect is stirring up trouble.
